History Fanfic / TaleOfTheSkyMaiden

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In Fairy Tail, uncommon hair colours are par for the course, but the literal examples of blue hair - Wendy, Juvia, and [[spoiler:the Generous Robin]] - stand out just a bit more.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13508478/1/Tale-of-the-Sky-Maiden Tale of the Sky Maiden]]'' is an is an ongoing fanfiction of ''Manga/{{Fairy Tail}}'', co-authored by ''[=LastationLover5000=]'' and ''[=Mangetsu20=]'' ([=Demod20=]).

* OutdatedByCanon: Wendy's character art for when she is 15 and 19 has been shown off by one of the authors on both the fanfictions official Twitter and his DeviantArt account. In both renditions, it is clear that Wendy is finally getting her dream of becoming stacked: Manga/FairyTail100YearsQuest would go on to show an adult Wendy who is still flat, but as this was a product of magic, it may not contradict the fanfic yet.

* NotSoDifferent: Wendy to Doranbolt. Both hold a sense of guilt for being too weak or afraid to do the right thing when it mattered. Now they both have to live through it their similar sense of self-loathing.

The fanfic is set in an alternate timeline where Wendy Marvell managed to escape the island of Tenrō during Acnologia's fateful assault. The last of Fairy Tail's heavy hitters, Wendy Marvell has to return to a guild where a large chunk of her friends are missing, and work hard to uphold a reputation of the strongest guild turned weakest.

The ''Tale of the Sky Maiden'' takes place during the seven year period between the Tenrō Island arc and the Grand Magic Games arc, covering new events, introducing characters both canon and original, while Wendy works hard as a mage of Fairy Tail.

* AlternateUniverseFic: A common trope in fanfics done by this author; this fanfic is a what-if that takes a look at what would have happened had Wendy and Charle survived the attack on Tenrō, rather than being frozen by the Fairy Sphere, and what occurs in the seven years as a result.

* DarkestHour: The Tale of the Sky Maiden ''starts'' on what was the biggest example of this trope in the original manga. Acnologia descends upon Tenrō Island, wreaking havoc and being an unstoppable force of nature. He completely obliterates the island, seemingly killing everyone. This fic begins with the twist; Wendy somehow survived, along with Charle, and it is in the wake of this horrifying event that everything begins.

* GreaterNeedThanMine: The idea behind Doranbolt and Wendy. Wendy, suffering from emotional grief after the events of Tenrō Island, desperately needs a friend, not just Charle. Doranbolt, wracked with guilt over what transpired, agrees.

* NeverFoundTheBody: Acnologia's attack on Tenrō Island destroys the island, and, with the exception of Wendy and Charle, all of the members of Fairy Tail on it with a single attack. Beyond the young Slayer and her Exceed, no survivors of the attack have been found.

* SoleSurvivor: Wendy Marvell is the sole survivor of the human Fairy Tail mages on Tenrō Island. Charle is the sole survivor of the Exceed of Fairy Tail. Neither are happy with their circumstances.

* SurvivorGuilt: Wendy and Doranbolt both. Wendy believes it is her fault that everyone died on Tenrō Island - even though, realistically speaking, she wouldn't have been able to save anyone - as the fear of Acnologia caused her to break away from everyone. Doranbolt blames his cowardice for being unable to help during the situation. Both become closer over their shared misery.

* CallingYourAttacks: In the spirit of the original manga, many characters — Wendy most notably — calls out the name of their spells when they use them. ''Doranbolt'' actually averts this while using ''Direct Line'', only thinking the name instead.

* FanGirl: Hisui E. Fiore, the Princess of Fiore, is ''very'' good at hiding it, but she — much like her father would show himself to be in the original series — is a fangirl of Fairy Tail. She generally keeps it to herself, but she sent for Fairy Tail ''specifically'' because of their exploits, and even though she got Team Wendy, the princess is more than pleased and impressed with their efforts.

* BadDreams: The second chapter opens with Wendy having a dream about being EatenAlive by a shadowy dragon meant to represent Acnologia.

The first story arc (chapters 1-11) is called: "Tribune of Water".
